Very little corporate coverage of this

11.01.2011 00:15

Given the previous riot was national number one news on new years day, I can find very little coverage of this. Why do people think this is? (aside from the obvious motives, I'm more interested in why one was massive news and another is hushed)

In any case, spread the word!
